Art in the Household.


A mantel lsmbrequin of green plush, en-
broidered with silks and crewels, the design
being luxurant water lily, attracted much
attention. 1t is quite new idea, applying
crewels to embroidery on silken- n-sheened
fabrics, but the effect ig good. There is
generally small quantity of silk used in the
high lights.
Doilies of sheer white linen embellished
with drawn work are e1quisitely dainty.
There should not be SO much of the work as
to render it aggressive. Some of them have
an additional spray of flowers or leaves exc
cuted in the most delicate outline stitches
Wash silks are chosen of course In this
connection it is interesting to know that a
sort of gold thread can be obtained that will
stand the laundry test. 1T is used On dra-
perry, and being new is immensely popular.
Another fancy is to mbrolder linen with
white silks. Geome:ricnl designs are the
most favored and outlined with heavy,
twisted silk which clearly defines the design.
The Decorative Art society of New York
is beginning to display its last summers
work One of its new productions is por-
there of heavy dark blue plush, two bands
across the top being its only adornment.
These bands are of white, loosely woven
woolen canvas, the embroidery, a fig design,
being done in coarse ere Tels-blues. browns
and reds-in Kensington stitches at least
half an inch long. The lower band is the
narrower and is executed in the same way.
This work might be confidently undertaken
by the veriest amateur, while the cost is not
alarming.

JUDGE GKANGER'S SUCCESSOR.
One of the most important acts which Gov
ernor Lounsbury will be called on to per
form will be the appointment of judge to
fill the place which will be made vacant by
preme court. It is important that we'll
qualified man should be chosen and it is also
important, we think, that he should be q
Democrat OF course the polite al opinions
Of the good judge are of small OF no account
SO far as his judicial work is concerned, but
the Republicans, just because they have the
power, should not be careful to fill the bench
with Republicans.
If a Republican were appointed to fill
Judge Granger's place the Democrats would
find great deal of fault. And there would
be justice in their complaint. The New Lon
don Day Republican, puts the case forcibly
when IL says: 1t is not right that in the
State of Connecticut where the masses of the
voters are about equally divided between the
two great political parties, the judicial ma
chinery should be placed almost wholly in
the hands of one party. The party that takes
advantage of its power to bring about such a
result Will Soonef OF later pay the penalty OF
its selfshness and its short sightedness.
There are Republicans, no doubt, who will
advocate the appointment Of Republican
judge this year, but they do not, in our opin
ion, represent the sentiment of the party
They defend their course by urging that il
the Democracy comes into power Republican
judges will be retired to make room for
Democrats. AS to this we have only to say
that the Republican policy of recent years
would justify ths Democrats in SO doing, and
the best way to insure fair treatment at the
hands of the Democrats is to treat them fair
ly. To reduce the present Democratic rep
resentation on the bench, we should consider
little less than an outrage, and we do not
believe that Governor Lounsbury will lend
himself to it.
Fair-minded Republicans will, we believe,
be of one mind in regard to this matter. The
best way to keep the Bench away from party
politics is to be fair in the appointment of

The Loving So uirrel.
| From tna Alta pta Constitution


Tie intensity of animal affection has just
been. pathetically illustrated in this city.
Three years ago Mr. jacob Gardner, of Bull
street, sold lady a large black squirrel,
which had attracted considerable attention
while at the store on account of its unusual
size and the beauty of its coat.
The animal became the favorite pet of it's
purchaser, and was often given the freedom
of the house and other liberties not ten
enjoyed by its kind when i'll captivity we're
extended to it. Occasionally the chatterer
left the premises, but never failed to return
when night approached. 1t was the object
of almost constant retting and caressing,
and nearly always slept snuggled up in the
arms of its mistress
A few days ago the owner left the city for
few days, leaving the squirrel at home
The little animal soon missed her and ran
from room to room all over the house and
grounds in search of her, giving unmstaka-
BILE evidence of grief. All efforts at conso-
lation on the part of others We're unavaiing,
and the squirrel refused either to be com
forted OF to partake of its usual food, from
time to time giving vent to pitiful little cries
indicative Of grief.
After nearly week had elapsed and it be-
came evident that the little sorrower's death
was a matter of only few days, the owner
was notified and returned home. Her arrival
Was greeted with evidences of wild joy by
the squirrel which jumped into her arms
with all the signs of happiness that it's
weakened condition would permit. 1t made
every effort to partake of the tempting food
placed before it, but unable to swallow,
and on the following day, with its eyes
turned almost pitifully into those of it's mis-
tress, it gasped out its life while lying in her
arms.

THE COMNIITTEES.

Speaker Hoyt has shown much skill and
Judgment in making up the House commit
tees. The Judiciary committee, headed by
Mr. Shumway of Killingly, brigh. young
lawyer; is as strong as it could be made,
as there are not many lawyers in the House
this year. The Railroad committee is also a
very capable one, and the Insurance COM
mittee is well constructed. The Labor com
mittee can be trusted to deal inte lligently
with the matters which come before it, and
the other important committees seem to be
composed of good material. With these
and with such Speaker as Mr.
Hoyt, the business of the House ought to
proceed systematically and rapidly.

lolr John Lubbock In the Pai Mall Gazette
The difficulty, however, is not perhaps so
much to procure the requisites of happiness
as to resist the assaults of care and sorrow
''The great man." says Emerson, ''is he who
in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect
sweetness the serenity of solitude" How
many of the troubles of life are insignificant
in themselves and easily avoidable? IL is
not SO much in most cases great sorrows, dis
eases or death, but rather "the little daily
dyings" which cloud over the sunshine of
life. We most of US give ourselves an i'm
mense amount of useless trouble, incumber
ourselves as it we're on the journey of life
with dead weight of unnecessary baggage.
In that most delightful fairy tale, "Alice in
Wonderland" the white knight is described
as having provided himself starting for
journey with a variety of odds and ends, in
cluding mousetrap, in case he was troubled
by mice at night, and beehive, in he
came across a swarm of bees. To save our
selves from imaginary, or at any rate prob
lematical evils, we often incur real suffering.
''The man." said Epicurus, "who is not con-
tent with little is content with nothing"
There is amusing passage in Hearnss
Journey TO the Mouth of the Coppermine
River" few days after starting he met
party of Indians, who annexed great deal
of his property, and all Hearne says is, "The
weight of our baggage being SO much light
ened, or next days journey was much pleas
anter." 1 ought, however, to add that the
Indians broke up the philosophical instru-
ments, which doubt were rather an in
cunbrance. Do then your best and await
calmly the result. 1t is anxiety, not work,
which kills; it is work, not anxiety, which
commands success. There is Hindoo say
ing that the fortune of a man who sits sits
also; it sleeps when he sleeps, moves when
he moves and rises when he rises. Anxiety,
on the contrary, does more harm than good.
Many seem to think that in these days of
competition and struggle for existence life is
more difficult and anxious than it used to
be. On the contrary, believe there never
was time when modest merit and patient
industry were more sure to merit reward"

berry orchards extending over hundreds of
square miles of country and owned by thou
sands of different husbandmen. Inside the
house again I was surprised at the comfort
which prevailed. In each one there were at
least two rooms set apart specially for the
silk-worms, and these were kept scrupulous-
ly clean. The other rooms of the house
were well furnished, comfortable and warm
in every case very clean also; and 1 did
not see in any country house any of the
squalor or misery one sees in many English,
Scotch and especially Irish districts.
At the time when I was in this country
too there was very general feeling of in
creased contentment springing up owing to
the opening of some large silk-winding fac
tories at Shanghai by American and English
firms. Hitherto the winding of the silk
from the cocoons had been done in most
cases by the silk growers themselves, and
the demand for the silk thus indifferently
wound and the prices paid for it were alike
small. But with the establishment of silk
winding factories filed with steam machine
ry at Shanghai it was hoped and expected by
the siik-growers that the price of cocoons
would go up, and that consequently silk
growing would improve as an industry In
any case the entire population seemed to be
prosperous and well contented 1t does not
always do to take the dress of any Chinaman
as an index to the wealth he may possess
He may have many reasons-among them
oelhg dfead or attracting the attention of
some rapacious mandarin-for not showing
more richness of attire than is absolutely
necessary, and he may prefer to go about in
warm rags than run the risk of being
squeezed" by the local officials, go that
many traveller may mistake this intentional
poverty of attire for want of money. I had
pointed ont to me in Canton one day for ex-
ample particularly begone looking
Chinaman going up the street. The geutle-
man who was with me, and who was a resi-
dent of the adjacent island of Shamien,
said, ''Poors 1 wish l was as rich as that
Chinaman. Why, half the European houses
here are in his debt; but if he showed this
by his dress the mandarin here would soon
borrow a trifie of him."

1t used to be the fashion for newspapers

Hon. ]. G. Price of North Carolina, one of
the most prominent negroes of the country,
recently delivered an address on ''The
American Negro, his Future and his Peculiar
Work" in which he said: stThe whites
found gold, diamonds and other riches in
Africa. Why should not the negro? Africa
is their country. They should claim it, they
should go to Africa civilize those negroes,
raise them morally, and by education show
them how to obtain the wealth which is in
their country, and take that grand continent
as their own"
Cooperation is making progress. The
first bill to pass the North Carolina 1egisla-
ture this session was one to incorporate a
cooperative tobacco company, with 81, ,000:-
600 capital. Mr.. Julian S. Carr, one of
the most enterprising men in the South, is
one of the corporators. It was stated that
the result would be the bringing of 81 ,00O,
900 capital into the State. Sixty Chicago
girls have formed cooperative establish
ment for making mems clothing for whole
sale dealers. They already have promises of
plenty of work. Success to them.
A Missouri bank brought suit against a
banking firm in Chicago for the recovery of
the value of twelve thousand dollars worth
of bonds which had been deposited with the
firm and which had been embezzled by its
cashier and lost in speculation. The United
States court found for the plaintiff bank up
on the ground that the defendants had not
used due care in protecting the deposltor.
The court further held that when the de-
PENDANTS found that their cashier was specu-
lating they should have discharged him or
placed him in some other position where he
could not have endangered property.
At the last regular meeting of the Metho-
dist ministers of Baltimore there was q long
and heated discussion over the following
resolution: "Hsving read in the daily pa
pers that some ladies of the city are making
arrangements for a charity ball to raise
funds for the poor; therefore, be it resolved,
that we hereby decidedly condemn such
methods, and hope the ladies will hereafter
abandon them" After much talk the reso-
luton was defeated and much milder one
was substituted, stating that the meeting
was opposed to balls and dances and request
ing the ministers to ask their members not
to take part in any held in the name of
charity.

The London Economist hasn't very ex-

yoroe it says: The contrast to the

was most marked, and, must add. if
equal justice is to be administered to the
rich and the poor. most scandalous. If the
Campbells got mere justice the Hodges got
none. If speedy redress for wrong is the
aim OF our law, as it is supposed to be, then
such cases are public nuisanees, and their
management ought to be remodelled. It is
not our business to suggest how, the more
because whenever the parties are poor, Or

any effort. Mr.. Justice Butt would more
